They fucked up the 870 - what makes you think they can build a 1911??
Have you actually even picked one up at a shop and finger fucked it a little? I own one, and like the dickens out of it. I don't why you'd pay 2x the amount on a Kimber or Para when the R1s are just fine a really a good gun that's accurate. Just my thought.
I fucking sell them for a living, Remington is garbage, they've proved it repeatedly over the past 15 years. Just because you're happy doesn't make it any less true. To be quite honest I'd rather have a Taurus 1911.
R1s are better than any other 1911 in the price range period. You can't base anything else they've made on it. They hadn't made a pistol in a long time before the R1. They put actual time and quality into these. Just my opinion though.
And exactly what makes you think you know that they put "time and quality" into these? Were you kept informed throughout the R&D phase of production? I most certainly could use the past 15 years of garbage to draw assumptions, but rest assured I am not drawing assumptions. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the new R51 is going to be....what....you guessed it... GARBAGE!
There have been at least 4 guns listed that are of at the very least equal, but arguably better quality, with better features, for less money. Some day you will learn, RMFC, that sadly, the USA doesn't always build the best (factory) guns. Remington is a GLARING example of this, because EVERYTHING they have made in the past 15-20 years is absolute trash. 710, 770, 783, 597, 887, I could keep going, but I've got better things to do.
